do you see any team in the afc preventing the patriots and steelers from battling it out in the afc title game?

If the the Pats and Blitzburgh play to their potential it's not likely. But this in the NFL, and crazy sh!t happens all the time. Remember when the Rams won it all during the 99 season, they were garbage the year before. And remember how the Titans stomped the Steelers toward the end od last season, both teams needed to win and the Titans mauled them. Let's not forget the no call after the Holmes TD in the SB. The refs should have called a penalty because he used the ball as a prop. If the Cards had the ball that much closer(15 yards) on the last play Warner wouldn't have had to hold on as long, and they might have been able to get a jump ball situation that could have won the game. You never know what can happen in the NFL. That's what makes it such a fun sport to watch.

Yes, but its unlikely. The Ravens and the Chargers (if they return to their '06 & '07 form) have the best chance. I'm sure people will say the Colts, but the Colts have never beaten the Steelers in the post season, and historically don't play well against the Patriots, 5-8 this decade, and 28-44 all-time.

Colts, Titans, Ravens or Chargers I think could surprise the Steelers. And in all likely hood odds are only either the Patriots or Steelers will make the AFC championship game, just by judging on how predictions never turn up that way.

2 teams have the chance to stop both the Steelers and the Patriots. San Diego because they've proven they can take down the best of the best, along with getting Shawne Merriman back, and having one of the best secondarys in the league. And the Miami Dolphins seeings that we saw them crush New England last year, and yes I know Brady was injured for 15 games last year, but one player doesn't make a team and Matt Cassel did well. Plus the addition of 3 new receivers, a beefed up secondary, to explosive runningbacks, and Pat White will make the Dolphins unpredictable and deadly.

Last year the patriots didn't even make the playoffs and if you combined the age of their linebackers and randy moss it'd be higher than my sat score. Tom Brady may of been gone but it's not as big as an impact as you think, Drew Brees had the best season at qb last year and didn't even make the playoffs. Don't forget about the Ravens and the Titans who I'd say both have a better chance than the pats. Also the Colts and Charger can't be counted out.

The Ravens are always dangerous on D, but they have 3 quality running backs now, and a servieable QB. I think the Chargers will beat the Pats in the AFC Championship game. Sproles will be a huge part of their run.

It won't be Steroid Merriman and the San Diego chokers but I think the Colts will be down this year, the Titans won't repeat last season and the Jaguars will emerge as the beast to challenge the Pats and Steelers for supremacy.

Ravens, Titans, Colts, Jaguars and Chargers.

Well depends, are the Refs on the Pitt bandwagon again this year, or are they gonna jump ship over to somewhere else, Pitt won't even make it to the AFC title game, I see the Baltimore Ravens winning that division.

The San Diego Chargers, if they play the Patriots, then they are done if they play the Steelers, they might. Also maybe Indianapolis Colts.
